Problem with query

2002-04-17 Thread Torkil Johnsen

I am having a small problem with a small mysql query...

I want to make a list of:
WHO HAS NOT PAID THEIR MEMBERSHIP FEE.

I guess I could maybe solve this one myself, its not too hard ...

I have one table with members

MEMBERS
--
| MemberID | Name |  etc.


One table with fee payments

FEE_PAYMENTS
--
| MemberID | date | price |  etc...


Now: How would I make a query that would list all members that have not paid their fee?

I'm just too tired to think it out myself :)
Forgive me :)

Howto: insert PHP code into mysql blobs

2002-04-12 Thread Torkil Johnsen

Just a noob question... (I suppose)

When I try just putting php code in my insert query, it goes like this:

insert into mytable values('?php echo some string; ?')

select * from mytable, returns:
?php echo some string; ?Some string

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A small SQL query problem

2002-04-12 Thread Torkil Johnsen

A small SQL query problem concerning articles and article_comments :) You
experts will have no problem with this :)


In brief:
-
I have no problems displaying the title, date, author, summary of the
articles or anything. Its just doing an sql query that gets my 3 latest
articles AND counts how many comments each article has, and doing it in ONE
query instead of two separate ones... :(


In *not* brief:
---
I have 2 tables.
One contains articles, basically like this:
---
| id  |  title  |  summary | text  |  date  | author  |
---

The other containts comments to the articles, basically looks like this:

---
| id | article_id | text | author |
---

Now, on my main page I want to display the first 3 articles like this:

TITLETITLETITLETITLETITLE (date)
written by AUTHOR

SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY
SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY
SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY
 Read the whole story (comments: ##)

My actual problem is how to get the number of comments (##)!

Re: A small SQL query problem

2002-04-12 Thread Torkil Johnsen

Thanks for the suggestion! I modified your query to something that works for
me (I was inaccurate with the column names before, sorry... :)

SELECT a.article_id,a.title,a.date,a.summary,COUNT(c.id) as comments
FROM articles as a,article_comments as c
WHERE a.article_id = c.article_id
GROUP BY a.article_id,a.title,a.date,a.summary
ORDER BY a.date DESC
LIMIT 3

This works PERFECTLY
Except:
If an article has NO comments, it is not returned at all!

So: When my articles table contains only 3 articles, and I make a query that
has LIMIT 3, you would think that this query would return all articles, but
it does not: Only the ones that actually has one or more comments.

I tried this with 3 articles where 2 of them had comments: Only 2 rows
returned. When I gave one comment on the last article: 3 rows returned.

Seems like if COUNT(c.id) returns 0, then the row is not returned at all.

Suggestions?

Need some easy select assistance

2002-01-29 Thread Torkil Johnsen

Given this example:

table CARS
has got an entity Labourghini with car_id=5

table NEWS
has got an entity Lambourghini displays new super model with
date=2002-05-02, news_id=735 and car_id=5

Now:

I want this output:

NEWS HEADLINES
date: headline (car_brand)

Can I do this without 2 select queries?
As of now, I would typically first select news, then get the car_id from
news and the do a select in the cars table, based on what kind of car_id the
news entity returned.

This should be pretty straight forward... I hope :)

Problem with norwegian characters

2002-01-28 Thread Torkil Johnsen

A friend of mine is having a problem with the 3 norwegian characters æ Æ, ø
Ø and å Å. (html: aelig; oslash; and aring;)

When a string is inserted with either of these characters, and later
selected and returned, they do not appear as they are supposed to. I.e: Ø
becomes O.

Also: Alphabetically sorting strings with these characters in them does not
work.

How do I set MySQL database language?? Or what do I need to do?

Oracle - MySQL

2002-01-28 Thread Torkil Johnsen

Need some assistance...

I have an already existing Oracle database, and wish to attach a MySQL
database to it by using the primary keys in some Oracle tables as Foreign
keys in some MySQL tables. I was just wondering how this would work out, as
I have no prior knowledge to Oracle and thought maybe someone already have
done something similar, or maybe could point me to an article or tutorial.

Sincerely,
Torkil Johnsen
